Twitter reacts to Marcus Peters being traded to the Los Angeles Rams

The new league year doesn’t officially kick off until March 14, but already we are seeing some big moves come from the Kansas City Chiefs.

First, the team traded away veteran quarterback Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins to pave the way for future (and, hopefully franchise) quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

But, if you thought the Chiefs were just going to sit idle until March after that big move, think again.

Chiefs are expected to trade CB Marcus Peters to the Los Angeles Rams, sources tell ESPN. Teams are in final stages of talks and barring an unexpected snag, the trade is expected to be agreed to as early as today.

The news has left many scratching their head, considering that Peters is perhaps the best cornerback in the game today. There have been several character issues with Peters, but the Chiefs were well aware of that risk when they drafted him.

Now, Peters goes to an LA team where he will play under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. It’s scary to think how good that defense could be next year.
